A Senseless Ending

I admit it: I suck.

The past few weeks have flown by and it completely slipped my mind to do a final wrap up post for the Senseless Challenge. So first and foremost: I’m sorry.

Truth is I was overwhelmed by how many people took part. I’d assumed only three or four other people would join me – making the weekly round ups and the final voting for best story completely manageable.

Instead I was blown away by the number of people who took part and who took the challenge to places I had never imagined.

In total over 14 people took part, producing more than 57 stories.

Participants: thank you. You rock.

It would be impossible to pick one deserving story out of the 57. ALL of you deserve a prize for taking part. I would like to give you an e-copy of Above Ground or Hungry For You – drop me a note with your email and format preference and I’ll send it along.

The fact is that lately I’ve been remiss with my online presence, and the Senseless Challenge not only rekindled my love for the online community, but also reminded me what I’m missing out on.

For anyone who missed the challenge, here’s a long list of excellent short stories to check out.

Wow A.M., this is so sweet of you! And it’s always good to know I’m not alone (in being remiss with online presence), but I hope to remedy that real soon. In fact, your challenge provided the perfect nudge for me to get back into producing more flash, so Thank You Very Much!

  I think the trick is to limit yourself. I had made myself a promise to focus on my blog, but then got caught up again with twitter and facebook and goodreads and and and… Then I crash and burn.
  
  Hopefully THIS time I’ve learned my lesson!
